Here's a look at world-famous lingerie giant Etam's showing in the fashion capital of the world last week.

The French are famous for their production of high-end intimates, so it's hardly surprising that label Etam put on a fabulous show in Paris on January 23.

Held at at Les Beaux-Arts de Paris, the event saw the who's who of the fashion world attend and the models strutted their stuff to music belted out by divas Grace Jones, Gloria Gaynor, Chaka Khan, the Pointer Sisters and Sister Sledge. Check it out!

To start off with we have this blonde bombshell in a hot pink satin two-piece -- a bold and bright statement!
